I'm doing some testing with localStorage on a local domain. Every time I close firefox, localstorage for the site is cleared. The domain I'm using takes the form http://example.dev. What is causing this and how do I prevent this from happening?

Many thanks paulonfs

Chosen solution

Found the solution. It's related to cookie settings. Must allow cookies until they expire, not just for session.
